*Earlier today via our Social Heat column, we informed you that because of his mysterious medical condition, Jamie Foxx will not be hosting the new season of Fox’s “Beat Shazam” musical game show. He’ll be replaced by his lil bro, Nick Cannon.
“Man, I’m praying,” Cannon told ET about the good vibes he’s sending to Foxx. “You see, I posted on Instagram. I literally have been saying prayers out loud. Words of affirmation for my big brother.” While not offering any details about Foxx’s recovery, Cannon said the actor is “doing so much better,” teasing that he knows that because he’s about to “do something special for him, and doing him a favor.”
In related Shazam news, TMZ is reporting that Kelly Osbourne will be the show’s DJ, a position held by Foxx’s daughter, Corinne, who, as we also reported earlier, is on full-time duty at her dad’s bedside as he remains hospitalized in an Atlanta hospital.
In a social media post earlier today, Osbourne shared a video from the DJ booth on the “Beat Shazam” set.
Kelly’s IG video features an emcee in the background, gassing up the studio audience for Nick. Kelly also posted a photo of the show’s rundown.

The hugely popular music lyric game show was scheduled to go into production just days after Jamie was hospitalized with what Corinne described as a “medical complication” but that was delayed. Nick and Kelly started shooting Wednesday.
As you know … Jamie was in Atlanta working on the movie “Back In Action” earlier this month when he fell ill, and his fill-ins on that project have been a stunt double and body double.
